About

Hi! I'm Christian Schwede, a software engineer living in Hamburg,
Germany and working remotely for Red Hat.
I spend most of my work time developing on Software Factory, a powerful
CI/CD platform to build software. I also contribute to OpenStack Swift, an
open-source object storage system and support our customers running Swift at
large scale.

I started using GNU/Linux about 20 years ago, and already worked
part-time doing DevOps in the early 2000s during my university time - even
before it was called DevOps. Back then I operated and designed distributed
mail, storage and compute systems for companies in the financial and
aviation sector.

Talks

I think OpenStack Swift is a great choice to store unstructured data in a
reliable, distributed and highly available way, and therefore I do my best
to spread the word about it.

Contact

I prefer a good old email if you want to get in touch with me - just send
it to info@cschwede.de. Use my GPG key if you want to send
me some sensitive informations. Some of my work is available on Github, and I also wrote a post or
two on the RDO project
blog.
